Terrible X-Men: Dark Phoenix Posters Are Not Official

Im-posters.

Some awful X-Men: Dark Phoenix posters circling the internet have, thankfully, turned out to be fakes.

After seeing the mock posters picking up steam online, IGN reached out to Fox to establish whether they were fan posters or actual official art. Thankfully, Fox has since confirmed that they are in fact fan-made.

They feature the expected line-up of heroes, anti-heroes and villains towards the bottom, with Sophie Turner as both Jean Grey and a hilarious-looking Phoenix looming above them. It's not an uncommon look for promoting a superhero movie but there's something not quite right about these images, and fans on Twitter agreed.

The impostors don't look anything like the first official poster, which was revealed last year, which showed Jean Grey's silhouette in front of an outer space background.
